Concerns about who Sony picks for Beta

Archive: 72 posts


The below video is from a kid who has the LBP2 Beta, and I really am in a down state because he doesn't even know what beta means.....(There is no footage of beta)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt_TH6GpOUA

Now after watching this, I was thinking to myself, 'Since Sony is picking the users that are most active on LBP, that means that little kids can get the beta so much easier than anyone else.' Kids should not be allowed to be the beta testers. The ones that have had LBP over a year and are capable of giving feedback and asking questions are the ones that should get beta, not kids that don't know what the heck they are talking about.

I also realized that kids are able to get almost anything they want, there are some kids on my friends list who are 8 and 10, and they are fun to play with, but they are on LBP almost 24/7. I don't think they have the knowledge to give MM feedback about their game.

I would like some opinions or answers about this whole situation. Thanks!

They still have the over 18 years old rule, so someone bent some rules...

(I haven't seen the whole video.)

EDIT(s): Lol sorry, but "beeta"? And he seems to think the beta is for just getting the game free, and early...

Also, why does he want the beta shot in the neck? I missed out on a part lol.

And why is he calling beta testers "noobtubers" and idiots.

Kid is evil man...



Oh and now he wants to run Mm bankrupt because they didn't send him a crown?

how is sony supposed to know how old the people are? this kid might have put his age 18 or 50 on his psn account. but i agree. kids like him shouldnt be beta tesers. i doubt he would even post on the forums about the bugs he might have come across...:/2010-09-17 05:49:00

hey.. just like you can report people for posting beta vids on youtube, you can also report people for being underage. It's against the Terms of Agreement either way. 2010-09-17 06:07:00

Currently writing a polite email to betatrial@eu.playstation.com ......

Although I don't know his psn.. I'm sure to make a fool of myself if this kid really isn't in the beta, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try.

no offense but:

no evidence of BETA
no PSN
sending a video to Mm to report some kid complaining about a beta he might not even own and etc.

not really a good idea....

A noobtuber!? I'll show you some noobtubing on MW2 if you don't stop talking nonsense. And learn to say beta right you smug little kid.

But seriously, that video shows why the 'you have to be 18 and over' rule is a good thing. Kids like that are just no good.

Weeelll, if I'm made a fool, then so be it. I told them to ignore the email if none of it is true.. And apologized if it was a waste of time. I can only do so much. *shrug* I'm sure they get emails like this all the time from people just like me. (haha)2010-09-17 06:50:00

WHY is this guy (supposedly) allowed the beta, when he doesn't know what it is, or how to pronounce it, wants Mm bankrupt (because he didn't get a crown, it sounds like), seems to think its actually the finished game?!?

I'm so angry right now I just want to go to this guys house and make him "turned round" >:C


On another note, he probably makes H4H and Jump challenges in LBP1, I bet.

What's this? There is some kid with a webcam being a jerk on youtube!!??!!! Oh teh noes!

Meh. There is only a certain amount of vetting the Sony can put into their selection of beta participants. The 18+ rule is almost certainly more for legal reasons than because "adults make better testers" (which is such a sweeping generalisation that it's pretty much nonsense). It's not like they can judge everyone on their ability to find bugs, follow sensible test strategies and communicate those findings in a coherent manner. I'm not saying activity is a great criteria, but it does at least mean you'll get a fair amount of those people's time. Sure not everyone who gets in will be agood tester.

And yes, beta is pronounced with a "beeta" over here, not "bay-derr". Because there is an 'e' in it

Wow, this kid will have a bright future as a ******-bag.

No, actually I would not call an 8 year old a ******-bag. But I can see him later in life.

@rtm:

Lol, I live in US and have always pronounced beta as 'beta', like bet and uh. ^^

The LBPC mods make a huge deal about breaking the NDA when there are clearly tons of kids under 18 here making alternate accounts and signing up for the beta.
Also, I know someone who got in the beta who has never even played LBP1.

No one seems that bothered about the 18+ rule, there's thousands of under 18s in the beta, including CC, so yeah.

To be honest he never revealed evidence that he does have the beta.....so imo i think he's just raging and tryin to make Mm look bad cuz he doesnt have the beta....but the bankrupt bit made me feel sorry for the kid. Must be hard being mental :/2010-09-17 21:20:00

Where is that dissolve tool when i need it...

Dont be mad at me, but i think that kids CAN be a good beta tester. Kids CAN be as responsibule as someone over 18 if not more. But that kid is not, at least chosing not to be...
To go to the crown: to get a crown, you need some skill. The type of skill you need to not make a H4H or bomb level. Anything elce...
but if this kid is on LBPC, i hope he does not see this.

To everyone who reads this, i am just saying my thoughts... dont get mad at me

"Little Big Planet 2 Beeta is nothing but a big... stick in the hose pipe."

I think I'm going to use that one. "Melissa, stop being such a big stick in the hose pipe, will ya? Geez!"

EDIT: Oh, and he doesn't have the beta, he has the graphic that went out on the announcement for the beta on his PS3 HDD.

Guys, I think he's totally trolling. That's probably just a pic from Google on his PS3.
He's too arrogant and he MUST know what a Beta is.

I've seen so much worse. People are leaking footage (I won't name names, don't want another leaked water beta footage outbreak again) knowing about the NDA and the risks of losing your PSN (and maybe even their Youtube) accounts so they are leaking these videos with one goal....to ruin the chances of future betas for others (Heck it wouldn't surprise me if this is the reason they aren't starting the US beta yet)

Also I spied an apology video ( I think its from the same guy, never bothered to look) earlier today

Is the internet being rude to a 10 year old?

Oh wait. 40 is the new, I mean 10 is the new 40. It still provides hype to the smaller audience, lying about your age can bite you in the butt though. Hardly ever but it still can.

The age old problem of people lying about their age online will never be solved... unfortunately, just as there will always be incompetent store owners and parents who allow their children access to "age-specific" video games and other material that they are clearly not supposed to get their tiny little hands on.

While I agree that some younger players would make good beta testers... there are reasons they aren't included in the age range to do so. Lying about your age at any time for any reason is wrong... PERIOD! The only fix I could see to this problem is for any and ALL beta testers to provide SIN numbers to Sony upon signing up, but that would go against our rights and would never happen. Sony could ask, but I surely wouldn't give my SIN # up just to beta test a game.... even this one.

PS. If you don't know what a SIN number is, you aren't likely old enought to be a beta tester, and will get a firm smackdown if we find out you are in the beta.
